Step cooking

You must pre-soak 300 grams of red or white beans in cold water overnight. You can add a small pinch of soda for faster softening. After 8 hours, drain the water and rinse the beans a little. Boil the beans until tender. This can take from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the variety, shelf life and degree of swelling. At the end of cooking, add a pinch of salt. Pour the entire contents of the stewpan into a colander and drain all excess liquid. Wait for the product to cool.
Peel one carrot and grate it or cut into thin strips. Mix beans and grated carrots in a salad bowl.
Cut half of one onion into thin half rings, add to the rest of the ingredients.
Grind a bunch of any greens with a knife. It can be dill or parsley. Add to bowl.
Salt to taste, squeeze the juice out of half a lemon and add about 40 ml of your favorite vegetable oil with a smell (olive, sunflower, sesame, etc.). Shuffle all components.
After 20-30 minutes, the contents of the bowl are well saturated with vegetable fat and lemon juice, after which it can be served.
